Our campsite was great we loved it! The only thing that I could see that could use some work was the restroom and shower. It worked fine but could use a coat of paint. LOL

It was the first time we took our three kids camping! My youngest had a heart procedure just a couple weeks prior, so this camping adventure is just what we needed! Thank you for the wonderful experience! We will be back next year!

The campground is beautiful, but the campsites are much closer together than expected, which made the experience less enjoyable. One issue we encountered was having to share a water hookup with the neighboring campsite. Since the sites are $25 per night, I expected each campsite to have its own dedicated water access. Because we were sharing, water pressure was often reduced whenever both campsites needed water at the same time.

Unfortunately, several guests did not appear to follow campground rules. Children frequently ran through neighboring campsites, and I had to ask multiple kids to stop climbing on and playing around my vehicle. Our neighbors also allowed their puppies to roam freely without leashes, which required us to constantly monitor our own large dog. Although our dog remained leashed for our entire stay, we repeatedly had to secure her in our tent because other dogs kept wandering into our campsite.

Another unexpected issue was the amount of foot traffic after quiet hours. Many people used bright flashlights while walking to the restroom, often shining them directly into our tent. The constant activity, along with children yelling at our dog in an attempt to make her bark, created a stressful environment for both us and our pet.

Overall, the campground itself is very pretty, but better enforcement of leash rules, campground etiquette, and consideration for neighboring campers would greatly improve the experience.
